Interesting Tidbits

In an attempt to overcome my fear of heights, I flew a helicopter (Chopper R22 with no doors) over the Statue of Liberty in NYC. Such an exhilarating and liberating experience. That emotion combining both excitement and fear is how I currently feel with the MBA process! Hoping to tackle this application process and get into a preferred school of choice with the help of Admit.Me!

Career Mission
